96/17 EGAC Funding: Essex Guild of Archery Coaches request monetary help. Losses have been sustained by Courses partly due to deposits paid to SCAS but not recouped from the club/candidates.

Current leadership of the Guild would like to bring it back under the umbrella of the County. The Guild Representative is now on the Executive. Proposal from Mrs L Howell (Team Manager) that “County fund Level 3 Courses”. Seconded P Tolson (West Essex). Motion carried with 1 abstention.

97/17 County Trophy Criteria: Franklin Rose Bowl awarded at WA1440 for Senior Recurve Team has not been presented for three years due to the criteria not being met. This states: “Four club members which must include one lady and one gent”. The donors of the Trophy are sadly no longer with us and, as such, cannot be contacted for approval of change, therefore, it had been proposed by Chairman that the criteria be altered to “Three club members which must include .one lady and one gent“. An Amendment to the Proposal put by M Pearce (Vice Chairman) that criteria reads: “Three club members of any gender”. Seconded Mrs L Howell (Team Member). Amendment carried.
